Industrial Hemp vs High CBD Cannabis Oil

Ever since Canada, the
United States and most Western European countries began legalizing the
consumption of hemp-derived products in their territories, the popularity of
CBD extracts has grown exponentially. In Australia alone, thousands of
customers are already using cannabidiol to treat a plethora of health
conditions.

However, not all CBD derivatives
are created equal. There is a big difference between raw industrial hemp and
high-CBD products, and it is important to understand it to make sure you select
an optimal remedy against pain, inflammation, sore muscles and any other
disorder you might be suffering.

High CBD Cannabis Oil VS Industrial
Hemp Extract

Perhaps the main
reason behind the sometimes confusing world of CBD is the way in which some
terms are used interchangeably despite the great differences among them. On one
hand, high CBD Cannabis oil is extracted from the stems, stalks and flowers of
the Cannabis Sativa plant and not from its seeds. Although hemp seed oil has
proven to be beneficial in some cases, it does not contain any significant
amount of cannabidiol.

Mature Cannabis plant

Hemp seed oil is
beneficial due to its high amount of amino acids, antioxidants and omega fatty
acids. It is currently used by many customers from all around the world as part
of skincare treatments, but it is seldom effective in treating joint pains,
aches or neurological disorders.

Hemp Seeds

Extracts from
industrial hemp plants are widely available in the market with different qualities
and concentrations. While some of them are greatly effective, others are
suboptimal as they are produced without any selection of the best strains or
analysis of their CBD concentrations prior to the extraction process.

CBD Spectrums – Understanding their
Difference

While understanding
the difference between hemp seed oil, hemp plant oil and high-CBD Cannabis oil
is crucial, it is also useful to know that –within CBD extracts- there is also
a number of subcategories:

Full Spectrum CBD

Full spectrum CBD extracts contain not only cannabidiol but all the natural flavonoids, cannabinoids and terpenes of the hemp plant. These components are able to work together in what has been defined as the “entourage effect”, which occurs when the effect of a CBD extract is strengthened by the synergy of all its components. It is believed that the entourage effect is also able to reduce the psychoactive effects of components such as THC. Australian CBD products are nowadays divided into full-spectrum and isolates, with broad-spectrum extracts being still relatively rare in the local market.

Broad Spectrum CBD

These extracts contain
many of the natural terpenes and cannabinoids of the hemp plant, but their THC
concentration is removed almost entirely along with some other natural
components. These extracts are the best choice for users who are wary of taking
even minimal amounts of psychoactive products, as well as for those planning to
undergo drug tests where THC can be detected.

Broad Spectrum CBD
products in Australia are relatively rare, but they are sold by some online
retailers. They are made from carefully selected hemp strains with high CBD
concentrations and extracted in a way that preserves most of their natural
components except the psychoactive ones.

CBD Isolates

Lastly, isolate extracts. These products are preferred by CBD purists who want to consume only cannabidiol and none of the other beneficial components of hemp. CBD Isolates have all THC, flavonoids, and terpenes removed in the extraction process, leaving cannabidiol as their only active substance.

There is speculation about the ability of CBD Isolate to effect positive change amongst varying conditions, however Down To Earth’s CBD Isolate is proving to be one of the most ordered products, with a wealth of benefits streaming through from happy customers.

Why Should I Choose High CBD Cannabis
Oil?

High CBD Cannabis oil
is the best option for customers who want to consume effective and consistent
cannabidiol extracts. At Down to Earth, our high-CBD products are made only
with carefully selected strains with the best and enriched cannabidiol and

Industrial hemp products can be very effective if you know the characteristics that determine their quality. Once you understand the concepts of CBD profiles, spectrums and the different components present in the hemp plant apart from cannabidiol, it is easier to select an optimal extract which can be effective to treat your specific health condition.
